"I lost 40 pounds, and my liver numbers were great after half a year!"
“Tomorrow, it will be a year since I saw Asya’s book at my gym. At that time, I had problems with my liver (presumably caused by medication and a few glasses of wine every day). My liver values were much too high, and despite all the measures I had already taken (no medication and no alcohol), they hardly fell.
The book looked inspiring, and I ordered it immediately. The next day I started reading it, and I didn’t stop until I finished it. Everything described in it sounded so logical to me. My attitude changed immediately. I also bought her cookbook, and I followed all advice from Asya. I was already used to training hard three times a week at the gym, and I saw that as relaxation, but I discovered that I had to do more or that I should not do some things to relax. For example, I have now become a loyal visitor to the sauna, and I regularly lie in the bath that had not been used for four years. I do cardio training twice a week with a personal trainer, and in the spring, I started running a few times a week.
My liver values were much lower within three months, and after six months, everything was completely okay.
My weight has also decreased drastically. I am now 44 pounds lighter. From size 46 to 40. I feel fit and younger than a few years ago. Like many, over the years—I’m now 53, I have tried many diets. Each time I lost a lot of kilos. After a while, all the kilos came back. I’m sure that won’t happen this time. I will continue to do this way of life and food. It also doesn’t feel like a diet at all! I enjoy what I eat. I eat tasty, healthy, and actually quite a lot without gaining weight!
For one year, this inspirational quote I read in Asya’s book has been on my whiteboard: I eat to live! (not: I live to eat). This quote has been an eye-opener for me.
In this way, I want to thank Asya for her beautiful books and the insights she has given me!”
